As for the oil level increase. Since we are dealing with a dry sump, more oil is circulated through the system from the oil-tank as the revs increase. This causes the level in the oil-tank to drop. Yet when returning to idle, there is less oil volume being circulated, with the "excess" seen as a higher oil level in the tank. Did you ever notice that the oil level gauge gets higher at a stop-light?

At least tht is my understanding.
